actually, i think omega has a refurbishing program that they take it apart, clean it, repair it, and put it back togather, around 200-300 Swiss francs,

Check out DJ Watchmaker.

The Seiko is probably the best of the three, but the Adee Kaye looks the best. Keep in mind that the Seiko is a quartz model and the Adee Kaye is an automatic with power reserve indicator. The Adee Kaye also displays the date.

My Breitling was serviced free outside of warranty because the problem traces back to previous attempts to repair during warranty. Good companies like to stand by their product quality. So, see what you can negotiate in terms of goodwill for factory service.

My watch as of the moment, more coming later.
Homage to the Omega Seamaster, I love this watch. For $65, it's just unbeatable. Loses maybe 10 - 20 seconds a week.

It is a good price for a nice looking watch.

Picked up two nice budget watches to replace my current pair - one for nice(r)/dressier events, and a daily beater.


Seiko SND255-P1. It uses calibre 7T92 (quartz), is water-resistant to 100m (with a screw-down crown!), and looks vaguely like a Breitling Navitimer. Not bad for $85, shipping included!


Casio Wave Ceptor WVA105HDA-2AV. For $29... makes a great daily beater! The fact that I don't have to set it just means less fuss for me. Atomic time-keeping FTW!

Heh. With the Seiko, I'm just aiming to dazzle with numbers and stats rather than the price tag. It certainly looks impressive, with such a cluttered dial and bezel. I even think that both the inner and outer bezels rotate.

The Casio has that combination of good looks and functionality that can sometimes be hard to find. It does sort of look like the Kirium, doesn't it? Too bad the whole back isn't an LCD display.

i have this seiko that the entire face was a photovoltaic cell (solar cell), worked great for a while, as long as you gave it some sun a few moments a day, it would keep ticking, untill i made the mistake of taking it to the land of eternal darkness, england..... london to be exact, it stopped at around 3am, i woke up in the morning, put it on, saw it stopped, exposed it to some sunlight, it started marching again, but i think it suffered some kind of damage, or the battery wasnt supposed to be empty, so every time it lasted less and needed more sunshine to recharge untill it stopped and died, and never charged again,

And that watch really looks like what it is... a fake watch! I REALLY don't understand the idea of getting a fake watch. Go buy a nice real Seiko for the same money...
